  • Chainalysis称,与俄罗斯和伊朗相关的加密货币捐款已通过电商平台资助了无人机及其部件的采购。
  • 调查人员认为,尽管滥用现象加剧,区块链透明度仍有助于追踪采购网络。

发生了什么

根据区块链分析公司Chainalysis的一份报告,与俄罗斯和伊朗有关的团体越来越多地使用加密货币为低成本军用无人机及其部件的采购提供资金。路透社和《经济时报》报道了这一发现。 另见: 英国提出更严厉海底电缆惩罚措施.

商用现成无人机已成为乌克兰和中东冲突的核心。这些产品在全球电商平台上的广泛供应使得识别买家变得困难。报告称,采购网络现在正与区块链支付交织在一起,使研究人员能够追踪从加密钱包到销售无人机设备的供应商的交易。 另见: 卡拉·桑德森.

Chainalysis的调查人员追踪到,从与无人机开发者和准军事团体有关的钱包发出的加密转账,直接用于在线购买无人机和零部件。自2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来,亲俄团体已筹集了超过830万美元的加密货币捐款,其中无人机被列为用这些资金购买的物品之一。 另见: Arda Daglioglu 的 AS210880 实验网络概况.

研究人员还将金额在2,200美元至3,500美元之间的加密付款与电商网站上销售的无人机硬件价格点相匹配。报告进一步发现了与伊朗相关的活动,包括一个与伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)相关的钱包,从香港供应商处购买无人机部件。

尽管加密货币交易量相对于总军费开支仍然较小,但分析人士表示,区块链的透明度可以帮助调查人员绘制出原本会被隐藏的资金流动图。 另见: 萨沙·沃尔特.

为什么重要

这些发现突显了数字资产如何重塑制裁执行和国家安全。乌克兰战争已经表明,廉价的商用无人机如何改变战场态势,使供应链成为监管机构和情报机构日益关注的焦点。 另见: Gowtamsingh Dabee.

从金融角度来看,该报告强化了一场旷日持久的辩论:加密货币在公共账本上提供透明度,但它们仍能绕过传统的银行控制。近年来,全球监管机构加强了对加密交易的监管,部分原因是为了防止逃避制裁和非法金融活动。 另见: AfriNIC 消失的成员登记册.

安全专家表示,区块链分析可能成为早期识别采购网络的关键工具。从短期金融视角看,这也预示着交易所和支付提供商面临的合规压力上升,可能会增加整个加密行业的成本和监管。 另见: FCC 要求美国海底电缆登陆须获许可.
